Kayla & Ariel
Wedding Party
Jazmine Gee
Maid of Honor
Kayla's younger sister. Growing up together with just their mom they share an incredible bond. With the 5 year age difference there were times where they weren't cool enough for one another and times where they couldn't be divided. Since becoming adults in the real world they challenge and support one another to be the best version of themself but to also keep that YOLO spirit! Kayla's favorite accomplishment of Jazmine is giving her a beautiful nephew, Andrés.
Katie Hargadon
Bridesmaid
Ariel's high school Best Friend. From high school house parties to 21st and 30th birthday celebrations, and literally everything in between (ask her about our 1st road trip to LMU together...), Katie has been a part of all of Ariel's most important life moments. Fun fact: Ariel and Katie have not lived in the same city since high school but they haven't missed a beat in their friendship. Cheers to always showing up for each other!
Arezoo Zand
Bridesmaid
From boss and mentor to BFF, these two were introduced when Arezoo made the best hiring decision and Kayla became her Sales Manager at Walnut Creek 24 Hour Fitness back in 2015! Inseparable at work and soon outside, it was clear these two had something special. Kayla credits a lot of her leadership growth and maturity in life to Arezoo and both would say that Arezoo has way more style today than she did in 2015 thanks to Kay :).
Claudia Contreras
Bridesmaid
Ariel's friendship with Claudia started on the basketball court in high school but has grown into a tale of 2 best friends. From victories and heartbreaks on and off the court, Claw has felt like family since high school. Fun fact: she was also a Bridesmaid in Rochelle's wedding. My forever favorite point guard. Don't challenge us to 2:2 unless you're prepared to lose ;)
Cody Hovda
Bridesman
Godson to Kayla's Mema, Cody is the brother, cousin, BFF that Kayla never had. Growing up together these two have been through many of life's natural moments. Teaching each other how to be the best ever basketball players, cheating at monopoly and fighting off the bullies, it was never a dull moment! BTW, Kayla was the cheater, always playing banker, buying up all the properties and charging the S**t out of Jaz and Cody for rent haha. Hopefully it was the character building they all needed growing up.
Loreal Weaver
Bridesmaid
Ariel's cousin who Ariel affectionally calls Lois. Growing up, Ariel was known for running to Loreal's house for summer time hang outs. Small but mighty, Loreal has always taken care of Ariel (including driving her home on her 21st birthday and helping her put her hair in a pony tail when she broke her thumb in the summer 2004). She's fiercely loyal and has never wavered in her love and support.
Dana Tabacco-Kleinschmidt
Bridesmaid
A beautiful friendship that started at work and in the gym back in 2015. Dana still holds the title for the best workouts even while on vacation! For years she's kept Kayla accountable to staying active and healthy. Since 2015 Dana and Kayla have been there for one another at the lowest of lows and highest of highs and never pass judgement, that's what BFF's are for! Kayla and Ariel were lucky enough to share Dana's special day when marrying Kyle and they can't wait for Dana to be apart of theirs.
Brandi Moore
Bridesmaid
The couples loudest cheerleader! While Brandi started off as Kayla's bestie and partner in crime, she's definitely Ariel's #1 fan (especially with Kayla's ex's). She says she knew it in her gut that this was it for Kayla from the first time seeing the couple together. Brandi has been a loyal friend to Kayla since their days on the basketball court in college and this couple knows that they can always depend on Brandi, day, night or if bail money was necessary :). Excited to share this moment, B!
